In brief:
Possibly

A better question is whether a person with nf-1 or -2 can lead a normal life? The answer is yes.

Certainly, there are neurofibromas or brain tumors that may occur and deviate the person from "normalcy" , but many of these can be dealt with using neurosurgery or radiation. The patients are fully capable of then continuing with a normal life with normal interactions with others.
